Mini drivers occupy an awkward spot in the bag: too big to be a 3-wood, too small to be a driver. PXG’s latest Secret Weapon is built to split the difference, promising driver distance with fairway-wood control.

The face is more than four percent thinner than the previous model, which PXG says lets it flex more at impact and keep ball speed up across a wider area. A thinner face needs help, so engineers reworked the internal sole structure to handle impact stress, then moved the saved mass to the perimeter for more stability on mishits. A carbon crown frees up weight to sit lower and deeper in the 300cc head.

Four sole weights (two 7.5 grams, two 2.5 grams) let you tweak shot shape, spin and swing weight, and an adjustable hosel handles launch. It comes in 13 degrees at 43.25 inches (right- and left-handed).

Jake Knapp, who called the original his favorite club in the bag, says putting the new one in play was an easy decision. Sequels rarely get that review.

The 30 year-old English golfer shared a sneak peek of their Sports Illustrated Swimsuit photoshoot in Ibiza on social media Thursday with a simple caption: “I did a thing." Hull is among 11 women featured in the magazine’s 2027 issue.

Hull turned professional in 2013 and became the youngest player to represent Europe in the Solheim Cup at just 17. Now a three-time LPGA Tour winner, she reached a career-high No. 3 in the world rankings in February and finished runner-up in the U.S. Women’s Open earlier this year. She joins a 2027 SI Swimsuit lineup that includes WNBA player Azzi Fudd, Brooks Nader and Jena Sims, wife of five-time major champion Brooks Koepka. The full issue is set to be released in 2027.

The master craftsman has spent nearly three decades building a wedge lineup so extensive it needs a fitting chart. Ask him which grind got it going, and he’ll point to the M.

When Vokey started on tour, most players used full-sole wedges, and grind requests were basic: some heel relief, a trimmed trailing edge or less bounce in the toe. He combined all three into one crescent-shaped sole, and after it hit the PGA Tour in the late 1990s, other players lined up for copies. Vokey credits the M as the root of several current grinds, including the D and T.

The signature 60M ($399) recreates that original profile and sole with SM11 tech, a slate blue finish, Project X wedge shaft and Golf Pride BCT Cord grip bearing Vokey’s initials. Each wedge also comes with a bag tag signifying that it is one of 1,000 made to Vokey's demanding specifications.

with the Amish? I'd try to sum it up myself, but my good Twitter and real-life friend Brian Kirschner did it better than I could:

Give Bryson credit for this - just when you think there are zero new YouTube golf ideas left, he comes up with this one. And you can't tell me you're not a little intrigued by it. It's already approaching 1 million views in under 24 hours. 

As for DeChambeau's competitive future, that still remains unclear, though ESPN's Mark Schlabach reported on Wednesday that DeChambeau "remains committed" to LIV Golf and is working diligently to bring LIV 2.0 to fruition. No word on whether or not the Amish will be involved. 

We're used to seeing some big numbers at Port Royal, where the winds can intensify to gust over 40 miles per hour most years. We don't think Kevin Yu can blame the winds for this one, though, as there are plenty of low scores early on Thursday.

You need to watch the TourCast footage screen-recorded by Byron Lindeque, @TheModelManiac on X, who is a great follow and usually brings us carnage such as this. Most impressively? Kevin Yu recovered from the 10 on his second hole of the day to make four birdies so far through his round ... to at least not be in DFL.

At least one PGA Tour player, Denny McCarthy, thinks so. The Athletic's Gabby Herzig got photos of McCarthy and his caddie, Geno Bonnalie, with their baseball mitts out ahead of this week's Butterfield Bermuda Championship. And McCarthy says it "helps him load into his left side" when he's swinging a golf club. 

At the very least, it seems like a fun way to practice. And here's instructor Mike Malaska doing a Golf Digest Schools video on how the golf swing is like throwing a ball. Seems like Denny is onto something. Just be careful throwing too hard.

Dimayuga got into the exclusive, 21-player event when APGA veteran Joey Stills had to withdraw due to playing in PGA Tour Q School. “I was over the moon,” Dimayuga said of the invite. He ended up shooting 68-67-135 (nine under) at Evermore Orlando Resort’s Grand Cypress Course and won by three shots. The first-place check was $30,000 from a full purse of $100,000.

Dimayuga, 25, is an APGA rookie with an interesting background. He is of Filipino heritage and was raised in London. In college, he played for four programs—Florida Atlantic, Arkansas, Nevada and Southern Methodist—and was a consistent contributor, including being the first golfer at Nevada to win back-to-back events. His graduate season was at SMU, where he finished second in his Mustangs debut while being third on the team in scoring average.

is branching its line out in its boldest direction with the launch of the new MLT Series mallets. Not only are these mallets a departure in size and shape from the current classic looks in the company’s Milled Series, it also includes center-shafted options that inch closer to the popular “zero” or “low-torque” technology that has nearly become its own putter category. The multi-piece uniquely milled construction features a milled aluminum top mechanically fixed to a milled 303 stainless-steel face and sole. The four models in the line include winged mallets, rounded profiles similar to the company’s Nassau model and open-backed wing mallets inspired by Meridian’s Key West. The center-shafted versions presents what the company is calling “by far the lowest torque mallets we’ve made.” That’s a result of the forward-but-centered shaft position and forward weighting from the stainless steel face vs. the lighter aluminum top. The line also includes an array of alignment features across the four models. A “My MLT” online customization experience, lets users choose from different head shapes, shaft configurations, colors, alignment treatments and other options. $300.

JumboMax hopes to make each one of those shots easier to pull off, especially when you want to choke all the way down the grip.

The company's new JMX UltraLong runs 15 inches, about 4.5 inches longer than a standard grip, adding a third point of contact on the shaft. Grip it at the top for a stock swing, then slide to the middle or bottom to take yards off. To be clear: this grip is built for short irons and wedges, where most scoring shots happen.

“By offering the JMX UltraLong as a longer grip with more points of contact, we can show golfers how a little creativity can result in a lot of control and consistency,” said John Mazzanoble, JumboMax's president.

The obvious catch with extra length is swing weight, but the company says the UltraLong is light enough that the number barely moves. It uses the extra-firm Tour Series skin in three sizes, from +1/8" to +3/8". Consider it another way to get creative with your scoring clubs.
